[nizmoflight]

Hey guys , I have a 50 % done built ka motor well .anyway I just want 2 know should I say with the ka or go. RB25 any help would be nice. Pros and cons ty

[Roger_cha]

well depends on what power u are aiming and how much u willing to spend but if you said that you have a 50% built ka then i would still with the ka.

well i want chevy vet eater i wanna eat muscle cars and s*** out ricersI'm not a drifter eventhough I would like 2 try and have fun a lil. But my main goal is 2 just have a moster vert. Aka sleeper / daily driver so..

[Roger_cha]

well that depends boths motors have potential but the rb cost alot more but minor tune and bolt on can eat vert any day and its a reliable motor the ka will require more tuning and mod but itll eat the vert just like the rb and its a reliable motor too it depends on how much you want to spend...

Yea I figure that. . Well this is my first 240sx covertible and I plan on keeping it. Till I dieand even then it will be barried. With me. Lol. Anyway so by wat I got so far is , the ka is a great motor its has its limits as well as the Rb.But the RB. Can reach crazy hp. With less strain.? Am I in the ball park.

I'm sick of hearing people talk about how much money the RB is. First of all, it really isn't that much more money then fully building a KA or SR motor (if you're doing things RIGHT)

Be that as it may, that's only my opinion right there. However, MONEY is NOT a f***in spec. People on this board seem to think $$$ is a spec as much as HP, or displacement. I mean some alumni member of the board made a whole topic about SPECIFICATIONS on different motors, and when it came to the RB26DETT the specs stated NOTHING but mere dollar signs, witch is not very informal all. Yeah I know it's hard to believe but $$$ is not informal, especially when it's the only thing written there.

Not saying I didn't appreciate the spec forum, most of the specs were actually good, besides all the dollar signs cluttering the RB26DETT spot. Eh, who am I kidding that topic is a failure, the information is EVERYWHERE however at least the starter had good intent behind it.

To some extent i'm going to have to agree. People that have the money don't ask, people that don't dare to dream.

To the op, if you have a 50% built ka stick with it. If money is not a option rb26dett IMO , get the biggest motor you have the money for.Any motor can eat vets if built enough. just a matter of how much extra work is needed.

ive got a rb26 and wount put any thing else under the hood, motor is very impressive

[Roger_cha]

ya talking like ya got nothing but money to burn... but u got to understand that some of us dont have money to burn thats y we go with the cheaper one. but if some of us got money to burn then i will agree with you

[nizmoflight]

yea i think ill go with the RB, money is not realy an issue , simply because im not in a rush . But i still would like 2 do reseach on the Rb26 thr pro and cons of the motor also my hp goal is about 550 600. ty

thank 4 the help guys
